"The vision of the left is not just a vision of the world. For many, it is also a vision of themselves - a very flattering vision of people trying to save the planet, rescue the exploited, create “social justice” and otherwise be on the side of the angels.

This is an exalting vision that few are ready to give up, or to risk on a roll of the dice, which is what submitting it to the test of factual evidence amounts to.

Maybe that is why there are so many fact-free arguments on the left, whether on gun control, minimum wages or innumerable other issues - and why they react so viscerally to those who challenge their vision."

THIS IS THE REASON SO MANY BLEEDING HEART LIBS'N LEFTIES WANT TO TAKE IN AS MANY SO CALLED SYRIAN REFUGEES AS WANT TO COME HERE:

ADVOCATING IT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES.

THE PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE IRRELEVANT TO THEM:

NATIONAL SECURITY IS IRRELEVANT; EVEN THE FACT THAT INCREASING AID TO THE CAMPS AND KEEPING THEM IN THE REGION IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE AND HELPS MORE REFUGEES IS IRRELEVANT TO THEM.

THEY WANT TO SUPPORT THINGS THAT MAKE THEM FEEL FOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES.

HOW WELL THEY HELP THE PROBLEM - WITHOUT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES - IS IRRELEVANT.

The Algemeiner says that some of Jabotinsky's messages of yesteryear remain quite useful in modern times:

The uncomfortable truth is that the current jihad against Israel is based solely on the fact that Israel’s enemies want the country destroyed. Thus, there is no possibility of a “two-state solution,” until the Palestinians decide to accept a Jewish state. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clearly believes this, but he cannot say it, because he is facing too much pressure from the outside world.

Jabotinsky was right when he demanded that there must always be a price to pay for terror. He asked a question in 1938 that is eerily as valid today: “Is a situation moral in which one side can commit any crime or murder and the other is forbidden to react?”

It’s as if nothing has changed, and we have not yet learned from history. In a world where Israel is still blamed, what will Netanyahu say when Abbas demands concessions as the price for stopping terror?

A real friend does not demand, let alone ask, that the opposite end of the table forfeit any part of their country, or limit where they can reside and travel. And Jabotinsky was right. A situation where one side's evil is deemed legitimate is dangerous and causes serious damage, to say nothing of fiasco.

As France bombs ISIS targets in Syria following the horrific attacks in Paris, experts warned the roots of the onslaught were much closer to home: young people turning to radical Islam because they don't feel they belong in Europe.

At least half of the extremists who killed nearly 130 people on Friday are thought to have been raised in France and neighboring Belgium.

"We are breeding a generation of kids who are estranged from their own societies," U.K.-based expert on radicalization Bill Durodie said.

Security forces have zeroed in on a poor Molenbeek suburb of Brussels, where several people were detained in a series of raids since the ISIS-linked attacks. Tiny Belgium — with a population of just 11 million — has the highest number per capita of militants fighting in Syria and Iraq, experts say. Many are from Molenbeek, which has a long history of links to extremism.

According to Claude Moniquet, a former Belgian intelligence agent and co-founder of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center, poverty and segregation are feeding extremism in the area.

He said some parts of Molenbeek are 80 to 90 percent Muslim, "so there is no mixing, no interaction with other communities."

On top of this, officials have not taken on the extremist ideology head-on, Moniquet said.

"They completely let the bad guys do absolutely what they wanted," he said. "They have been too nice, too tolerant, too bland. They didn't want to see radical Islamism in this part of the country because the only thing interesting for them is peace [and quiet] and to be reelected."

This is practically the case in many parts of Europe now where Muslim enclaves reign. The authorities literally think leaving the problem alone will make it go away, when the opposite is the real picture. But will they change now? Don't bet on it so easily.

Okay, that's respectable enough. But, if they still hold fast to ultra-leftist standings on Islam and immigration, then these can't be taken at face value.

Now, for some of the usual disappointments. For example, if we determine a writer's persona by what he retweets, then here's a screenshot to check:

Busiek retweeted some of the most laughable apologia possible, which comes unglued when the birdbrain who wrote that junk blames right-wingers for everything. And Busiek then proceeds to make everything worse when he says:

I’m sure the Syrian refugees already living in Texas are going to have a wonderful time, full of acceptance, in the coming weeks.

Sarcasm or not, I am not amused by his petty swipes at Trump, no matter how weak I already find some of Trump's approach as it is. More hugely disappointing efforts to divert attention from pressing issues and worry about accepting in "refugees" whom I doubt they'd ever let into their own houses despite their stances.

Wrecked by the news coming out of Paris. Infuriated by the stupidity of some people tweeting about it.

He should take a good look at himself, because he later retweeted some more apologia for Islam, like this same nonsense Busiek did about IS wanting to create "Islamophobia". And again, without ever bothering to acknowledge the exact verses inside the Koran.

My heart goes out to the people of Paris and our friends at @UrbanComics who lost one of their own. Such pointless evil.

I get the feeling Seeley's drawing a moral equivalence between ALL religions, and won't make distinctions between good and bad. It brings to mind this report on how leftists blame all religion, and cannot tell the difference between one ideology or another. That's not the way to solve anything.

Here's also one more by a freelance editor named Will Dennis:

dear politicians, maybe cool it with all the “prayers” ….fucking prayers is what got us into this fucking mess in the first place.

The Weekly Standard found that somebody made up a false story about a supposed Muslim security guard at Stade de France who prevented one of the suicide bombers from setting off his explosives. But it turns out it wasn't true.

Seems like in a lot of these situations, they do this in order to "prove" that Islam is irrelevant, and soften everyone's feelings towards the Religion of Rape. But it only does more damage than good.

Here's what I found Nick Spencer, now making himself one of the most reprehensible people working on illustrated pictures at Marvel comics, saying about refugees after the horrific massacre in Paris this weekend:

Several governors say that they will not resettle any refugees from Syria in their states, amid reports that at least one of the Paris attackers slipped through Europe’s immigration system and concerns about “gaping holes” impacting America’s screening process.

On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he sent a letter to President Obama saying that Texas will not take any Syrian refugees in light of the attacks.

"Neither you nor any federal official can guarantee that Syrian refugees will not be part of any terroristic activity," Abbott wrote. "As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril."

Exactly. There were even terrorists who crossed the border in the past decade from Mexico, some who pretended to be Latin Americans themselves, and that too is why it's dangerous in this day and age to just accept interlopers without reservations. Spencer obviously doesn't consider that.

The GOAL for ISIS is that we stop accepting these refugees. People pretending to 'get tough' are actually caving in to enemy's demands.

When detectives discovered a grey VW Polo car with foreign licence plates near the Bataclan concert hall after the bloody attacks in Paris, they would have suspected it would offer clues to the assailants who had wreaked such terror on the city hours earlier. Eyewitnesses had, after all, spoken of the black-clad men appearing from cars bearing Belgian platesbefore they calmly discharged their weapons or set off their suicide belts at sites across the French capital, killing 129 people.

In fact, a parking ticket casually discarded in the small rented vehicle was to tell them much more than they could have hoped – or, indeed, have feared. It had been issued in the Brussels district of Molenbeek.

A Immediately the French security services will have been confident of two things: Islamic State was likely to have been behind the attacks, and the security services had dropped the ball.

A district of derelict warehouses, red-brick terraces and vibrant street life on the canals north-west of the centre of Brussels, Molenbeek was once known as Belgium’s “Little Manchester”. Today it was casually described by one Belgian broadcaster as a “den of terrorists”, where returnees from Syria have in recent years often made their home.

The ordinary daytime strolling atmosphere is entirely comfortable, but it enjoys a reputation for hardline clandestine Salafist cells which the Belgian security services claim to know a lot about but never seem able to deal with.In a country with one of the highest per capita ratios of locally born jihadis fighting in Syria and Iraq of any country in western Europe, this is a hotspot; a place so impoverished that those elsewhere in Brussels have been known to describe its inhabitants by the nickname “Zinneke”, an epithet drawn from an anti-flooding channel of the river Senne, and meaning “mongrel”.

Ayoub el-Khazzani, 25, a Moroccan national, who opened fire with a Kalashnikov on a high-speed Thalys train last August had lived there. The 29-year-old French national of Algerian origin,Mehdi Nemmouche, who killed three people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in 2014 stayed in the district; as did one of those involved in the Madrid bombings in 2003.

It should be of no surprise that President François Hollande was so quick and so certain in his claim on Saturday that the attacks were “an act of war that was committed by a terrorist army, a jihadist army, Daesh, against France”.

After the discovery of that parking ticket, it did not take long for the Belgian prosecutor’s office to open an anti-terrorist investigation, nor for the French border with Belgium to be tightened. Within hours, a car used in the Paris attacks, registered to a French citizen, was stopped there.

The fact that muslim enclaves like this exist is testament to the fact that muslims do not want to assimilate.

And it is testament to the fact that liberal multicultural policies have failed.

No go zones must be eradicated.

And Europeans who go to jihadist controlled regions should have their passports revoked. And be exiled.

Libs'n leftists blame lack of good gun control - because of the NRA, man-made climate change - because of Big Oil, and the toppling of Saddam - because of Bush, for ISIS and the attacks in Paris.

Like the entirety of the lib'leftie agenda, these are all delusional falsehoods.

PROOF:

France has ridiculously tough gun control.

Three of the attackers were from France where there is next to no negative effects from any climate change.

Iraq was completely stable in 2011, so stable that Obama'Biden were bragging about it. Panetta, Gates, and Odierno blame Obama's refusal to negotiate a troops agreement and the subsequent 100% withdrawal of all USA troops - (which Obama'n Biden also braggesd about) - for the emergence and supremacy of ISIS in western Iraq and then eastern Syria.

OBAMA AND MERKEL AND HOLLANDE HAVE THE BLOOD OF ALL THE VICTIMS OF THESE ATTACKS ON THEIR HANDS.

Had Obama been a prime minister, his president or monarch would have asked for and received his resignstion - just as King George 6 asked for and received Chamberlain's resignation at the outset of WW2; the king gave the prime ministership to Churchill.

Obama should resign, alomg with Kerry, and Brennan.

Sadly, we will have to weather the storm with these three evil or incompetent scumbags in power for another year.
